what it says, clear as day. What do I connect to it and how do I power it. I am sure I need to go to the boneyard and get the correct connector. I just need to know what powers it.

Those look like the connectors that mount to your dash behind the gauge panel.They plug in to the back of the gauge cluster.I know when Ive run the engine on my car WITHOUT the cluster installed the headlight/seatbelt buzzer just constantly buzzes.

Im sick of trying to figure this out, cause I always make more problems, Im going to look for someone who can just fix the darn thing, plus the exhaust and clutch needs to be fixed too. Id rather pay than be this frustrated.

Before giving up, look under dash and find connector along with loose wires. Then match up the wire colors to those on the connector.

the only problem is i need the correct connector. If anyone has an underdash wiring harness for an 88 350 let me know. I do have a connector under the dash just the car is an 83 and they don't match up at all. they connect just not in the right places. if anyone has done something similiar to this too chime on in. Thanks again.

I think the schematic was the same on these, just depends on what options you had. Get a schematic and follow the wires. Then, get connector that matches what you need and repin
or solder wires. Can you repin what you have or is it keyed diff.

how much power are those supposed to be getting? I am like || <---this close to figuring it out but never get the right answers. Does anyone know? Im not paying those GM guys 500 dollars to fix it in a second and say it took 8-10 hours.
